BlueGriffon on fc-17 won't open

[One Way Dave]

I downloaded and installed Blue griffon, yesterday. I have an icon on the Applications menu and there is a folder for bluegriffon in the file system.

When I click on the icon, I get about 7-10 seconds of the monitor staring at me and then it returns to whatever I was doing before. I suspect there is some glitz in the launcher (GNOME 3) but have no idea how to approach a fix.

I looked at removing bluegriffon and reinstalling but am not sure if that is the right approach (it was an rpm package from bluegriffon).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Dave.

Hi One Way Dave,

I just got a working Bluegriffon 1.5.2 on a new F17 LXDE x86_64 installation by downloading the most recent 64bit Ubuntu version:

wget http://bluegriffon.org/freshmeat/1.5.2/BlueGriffon-1.5.2-Ubuntu11.10-x86_64.tar.bz2
su -
cd /opt 
tar xjf <path to BlueGriffon-1.5.2-Ubuntu11.10-x86_64.tar.bz2>
ln -s Bluegriffon/bluegriffon /usr/bin/bluegriffon

Mack, thats basically what I did, except I used the Ubantu ...rpm version. I'll try the remove the rpm and try the tar and see if that works, thanks.

Dave.
